Thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

Fay has settled on 'Architecture' as a good enough substitute for 'George'
for future documents, and in Win OvPro I've mapped George to Architecture
for any old docs she might transfer, so she's sorted.

That brings to mind a thought... Can OvPro for RISC OS do a reverse Font
mapping?
That is a doc created in Win OvPro using (Say) Architecture, brought into
RO OvPro would need to be substituted for George?

In relation to this thread it wouldn't matter since I've created a RO Font
version of Architecture for her. But it would be interesting to know for
future reference.
(I do have an OvPro manual, but ATM I can't get at it.)

During the course of my days of searching for her, I did find a few
possible substitutes, including one that was a perfect fit on a site, Have
Fun With Fonts called 'Ice bergman.ttf', unfortunately like a few others I
found, it only contained a very small character set.

Particular thanks to Deri James who via linux did a conversion of the RO
George to a .ttf George.

In the end we couldn't use it because of its limited character set, and a
Win Ov Pro problem.

It has been an interesting exercise, she's sorted and I must get back to
slightly more important matters.

Thanks, appreciated your input.

Dave
